Yes, you're right. There are a lot of differences between timers on Win3.x, Win95 and WinNT. On each system, a timer is a total different kind of "animal". There are also important differences between timers on VFP3 and VFP5.

>I recall that under Win 3.1 there were several things that would stop the Windows timer. I know that the old "hit the alt key" thing still disables the screen saver in Win 95, and I assumed the rest of the timer functions as well. But from what you're telling me it doesn't. Is that right?
